And we did!
I e-mailed a few times with Raph, now I have a beta version of FS, where I can set the max number of DMX channels for my Velleman VM116 -and- I can set the FreeStylers refresh rate somewhat faster. Normally its hardcoded 50msec, meaning that every 50msec FS sends the new DMX data to the driver of your selected interface. Now it is configurable and that 50msec can be lowered to 20msec.
Seperate from eachother these 2 things already make improvements on the flashbutton reaction. But when I optimize both, then its lots and lots faster than in the 'old' FS. Now I can press my flash button, and the light goes on simultaniously*. It doesn't take a full day anymore...
I have set the max num output channels to 256 and the refresh rate to 20msec for my testing. This is a big, big, big step ahead!
Not just for me, I'm sure about that.
Ofcourse people could set the max num channels to 96, then it will be more and more faster...
Raph; thank you so much for thinking along and for your work!
* Ofcourse its not real simultaniously, but is sure feels that way now. And thats good!
